“Top winemaker Silvia Heinrich from Deutschkreutz and her passion. Or: What you always wanted to know about wine making! The Burgenland native accompanied the winemaker of the year (2014) one day at the grape harvest. “(The Burgenlander)

On September 18 we started harvesting. Our Diva Pinot noir came in perfect quality in the cellar … afterwards there were a few days of rain. On the 22nd, in the most beautiful autumn weather, we continued with full ripe and healthy Zweigelt and Merlot grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand and we select directly in the vineyards. It is a real joy to harvest the crunchy berries. The Blaufränkisch grapes are small-berry – a merit of the hot summer and our work in the vineyards.

He is charming but never forcing. In his youth powerful and fiery, fruity and spicy. He loves to surprise and to change his face. He remains polite in the background but when his time has come, he inspires everyone and convinces with his character, dense structure, his strength, powerful body and yet inner peace. When he is getting older he shows his elegance and classy but never seems old…and although when he has gone, one has the impression that he is here forever. I am so happy that he is always with me: One of my seven Blaufränkisch variations.

End of 2015 Jean Baptiste and Ludovic – the “Wine Explorers” visited our winery on their tour through more than 90 wine producing countries. They wanted to stay one day – but stayed nearly one week.

Meeting with owner Silvia Heinrich (Winemaker of the year 2014), a woman full of talent, energy and very humble ; focusing completely on red wine.”
